Have
you ever wondered what it would be like to "sell the farm" and move
to Nashville to become a songwriter? Well, I quit wondering about
it and didit. It has proven to be a unique experience. I will use
Quest For The Craft to let you see my ongoing experience in The
Music City. I will give you a glimpse of the frustration and excitement
that can occur when life's overlooked details get in the way of
pursuing the songwriter's dream in Nashville.

A
short bio:
Tim Ogle was born in Roanoke, Virginia, the son of a minister
and music teacher. From early childhood he was surrounded by the
influence of music—all kinds of music! Country music, gospel music,
rock and roll from an older brother and sister, and classical music
from an occasional PBS radio station were all a part of his rearing.
During his high school years Tim developed a great interest and
appreciation for the power of music on the human psyche. This natural
progression of music interest led Tim to the guitar. Dogged determination
on his part resulted in his mastering the instrument of choice.
That mastery led to his interest in song writing. While working
as a mental health professional, Tim has honed his craft and written
several songs that he has performed in diverse venues in Kentucky
and Tennessee. To pursue his vision of succeeding as a song writer,
Tim moved his family to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2005.
